Greetings from Central America:

We are Missionaries serving the Lord here in the country of Nicaragua which is said to be the 2nd or 3rd poorest country in all of the Americas. This is a country where you feel like you are needed and the national people are wonderful when you get to know them. We are a church plant ministry based out of Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa, CA, USA which is a Bible believing and non-denominational Christian church.

Amateur radio is important to us because it helps us to stay in touch with family and friends in the USA and all over the world. We really appreciate it when we can make a QSO. Thank you for the Contact.

We get real busy here but when there is free time I like to operate CW on the HF bands. If you would like a QSL card, please send via my QSL manager W0MM - do not forget to include SASE if you want a direct response otherwise it will be sent via bureau.

EX: call signs: YN4MG, 9G5MG. My USA call sign: WK6O.

Other Amatuer operator at this station is David Budgen YN3BSL.

Equipment:

Xcvrs: Icom IC-746PRO & Kenwood TS450S, Linear amp: Ameritron Al-811H, RF Power: abt 600 Watts depending on band, Antennas: 10, 15, & 20 Mtr bands: Force 12 C19 tri-bander up 25 mtrs, Force12 - 40 mtr rotatable DP up 26.5 mtrs, 2 meter band 10 ele homebrew cubical quad up 29 meters, Guyed tower is all homebrew with 8 section welded from plumbing pipe and re-bar.

And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go thereforeand make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen. Mathew 28:18-20

73 & God bless you

Serving Christ,

Pastor Michael Gaude YN3M

UPDATE 11/5/2013 - QSOs completed with JA, VU, VK etc. I am using Digipan, so you can transmit up to 1KHz high of my frequency and I can do a 'split' QSO.

UPDATE MAY 11TH 2013 - I am now in Kawthaung, Myanmar. Please look for my signal on 20mb PSK-31. You can check QSOs and request QSLs from my online log at http://www.myradioclub.org/xz1k/

11/5/2013 - LOTW is not yet available. I submitted documents to the ARRL for DXCC approval and LOTW account on 30/4/13, (by courier service from Yangon), but although the package is shown as delivered to the ARRL I have had no feedback. If/when I am allocated an LOTW account, I will upload to LOTW for requested QSLs.

UPDATE MAY 1ST 2013 - During the months of May and June 2013, I MAY operate XZ1K from Tanintharyi State. I will only operate on PSK-31, according to when I have free time. From 1st July, I will be working in Laos, but I will try to return each holiday to re-activate XZ1K

QSL INFORMATION - QSLs will only be available via online verification. There is of course, no bureau in Myanmar and I will have no permanent address there. I will mail out a hard-copy QSL for each QSO verification. SWLs may also submit their reception reports.

In May 2012, after working as a teaching volunteer at a local orphanage in Tanintharyi State, south Myanmar, I applied to the military commander of that state and was granted the amateur radio call-sign of XZ1K, for use within that region.

I subsequently operated for a short while on 10m SSB during May 2012, and achieved QSOs with many Asian stations.

In April 2012, I left Tanintharyi State for a new teaching position in Yangon, and so I was no longer able to operate XZ1K.

Here are some photos taken at that time where I presented items to the orphanage kids that have been purchased with funds donated by several radio amateurs

Historical information:

Progress is a Russian (formerly Soviet) research station in Antarctica. It is located at the Larsemann Hills antarctic oasis on the shore of Prydz Bay.

The station was established by the 33rd Soviet Antarctic Expedition on April 1, 1988 and was moved to another place on February 26, 1989 In 2000, work was temporarily halted but it reopened in 2003.

A landing field is located close to the station for air connection with other stations. From 1998-2001 works were performed to transfer transportation operations to Progress from the Mirny Station and make it the main support base for Vostok station.
